Unfortunately it seems that he won't be a RPG addict.

That's a fantastic outfit!

But where does he get AC 5 and hp 4?
Is that some sort of 4E nonsense?

AC 10 and 1 hp, I say!

Size: Tiny (course with his dex really hurting him there not sure..unless the shirt is magical)
Maybe using old school rules, I mean he's not a minion so 4e is out, 3e does do 1st level races but not human that I recall. Heck probably Judges Guild, where a 7th level fighter can be a blacksmith.

Well, you're not supposed to hit a child, so he gets an automatic AC bonus right from that... of course, that Dex penalty really hurts.

I've just watched that video (again) and clearly noted a foot fault on her second serve that continued to be played out as a winning point for her... :lol:

Anyone able to provide me with better photo/scans of the Divine Right 25th anniversary edition map. Images on the web are not clear enough.

I bought an LED desktop lamp today. It runs on AA batteries or USB power. It was also on clearance, so that made it a definite buy. However, it also looks as scary as hell, which I do not think was the manufacturer's intent.

(If the lamp is no longer at the Target site, then try Googling for "nessie led lamp")

I feel like I have a furry Call of Cthulhu creature illuminating my laptop. I wonder if I can find more of them so I can breed them . . .

Her reason for existence is to serve as a life-support system for those cans. Breast reduction should be a prosecutable crime.

If I'm not here next week... it's because I died. Coronary style. Massive, unrelenting cessation of blood flow brought about by the indiscriminate digestion and consumption of barbecued meat, particularly bacon.

Yes, that's right... this weekend, I'll be grilling up a bacon explosion. But, it won't be an ordinary, weak-in-the-knee experience. No. I'm not down for that. I'm taking the basic recipe and modifying it serleran-style, complete with hot seasons and cheese, to really get the heart to stop beating. I think I'll add in some deep fried Oreos, just for giggles.

So, if there is no more me soon, at least you know.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

For anybody that missed the last big bacon discussion, here is the tasty treat that serleran is referring to.

Can I have all your gaming stuff? Or, any leftovers of the Bacon Explosion?

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

I have nothing you would want. Besides, the wife knows what to do with my junk.

But, yeah... if you want airmailed bacon explosion, I can arrange that.

If there is enough to go around (I mean after your done with it Mr T...) Can I have some too?

Assuming I survive this coming weekend that is. :oops:

Hi,

watched the first episdode of Krod mandoon and the flaming sword of fire yesterday.

Thought is was pretty good, tho not hilarious.

Obviously written by someone who plays D&D.

Has it aired in the USA yet?

Cheers,
Malc
